The efficiency of your hood depends on a clean filter. Frequency of cleaning depends on hood use and the type of cooking you do. However, the grease filter should be cleaned at least once a month.

To remove:

Pull down on the center of the front edge of the filter. The filter will then slip out of the retaining tabs on the back.

To replace:

Slip the back edge of the filter into the retaining tabs and push the front edge up until it snaps into place.

To clean:

Soak and then agitate it in a hot water and detergent solution. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt. Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.

NEVER OPERATE THE HOOD

WITHOUT THE FILTER IN PLACE.

With careful handling, the metal filter will last for years. If a new replacement filter becomes necessary, order the part from your dealer. Order genuine GE part number WB02X8391.

Charcoal Filter???Recirculating Installations Only

Safety

Replaceable charcoal filter

NOTE: DO NOT rinse, or put charcoal filters in an automatic dishwasher.

The charcoal filter cannot be cleaned. It must be replaced. Order filter no. WB02X10700. Replacement filters can be ordered from your GE supplier.

If the hood is not vented to the outside, the air will be recirculated through a disposable charcoal filter that helps remove smoke and odors.

The charcoal filter should be replaced after 6 to 12 months (depending on hood usage).

To remove:

Pull down on the center of the front edge of the filter. The filter will then slip out of the retaining tabs on the back.

To replace:

Slip the back edge of the filter into the retaining tabs and push the front edge up until it snaps into place.

Instructions

Painted Surfaces (on some models)

Do not use steel-wool pads or other abrasive cleaners. They will scratch the surface.

Clean grease-laden surfaces of the hood frequently. To clean the hood surface, use a hot, damp cloth with a mild detergent suitable for painted surfaces. About one tablespoon of ammonia may be added to the water. Use a clean, hot, damp

cloth to remove soap. Dry with a dry, clean cloth.

NOTE: When cleaning, take care not to come in contact with filters and other non-enameled surfaces.

CAUTION: When cleaning the hood surfaces, be certain that you do not touch the light bulb with moist hands or cloth. A warm or hot light

bulb may break if touched with a moist surface. Always let the light bulb cool completely before cleaning around it.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

WARNING ??? Before beginning the installation, switch power off at service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag,

to the service panel.

OPTIONAL POWER CORD KIT JXHC1

An optional Power Cord Connection Kit, model JXHC1, is available at extra cost from your GE supplier for installation using a standard 3-prong, grounded wall outlet. Follow the Installation Instructions packed with the kit to connect

the power cord to the range hood.

DUCTWORK REQUIREMENTS

NOTE: Read the ductwork sections only if you do not have existing ductwork. If you have existing ductwork, skip to the ???Damage??? section and proceed.

The venting system must exhaust to the outside.

This hood can be vented vertically through upper cabinets or horizontally through an outside wall. Ductwork is not included.

Exhaust connection:

The hood exhaust has been designed to mate with standard 31???4??? x 10??? rectangular ducting or 7??? diameter round ducting.

If a 6??? round duct is required, a rectangular-to-round transition adaptor must be used*. Do not use less than a 6??? diameter duct.

Maximum duct length:

For satisfactory air movement, the total duct length of a 31???4??? x 10??? rectangular, 6??? or 7??? diameter round duct should not exceed 65 equivalent feet. See the

WORKSHEET???CALCULATE TOTAL EQUIVALENT DUCTWORK LENGTH section.

NOTE: It is important that ducting be installed using the most direct route and with as few elbows as possible. This ensures clear venting of exhaust and helps prevent blockages. Also, make sure dampers swing freely and nothing is blocking the ducts.

Elbows, transitions, wall and roofcaps, etc.,

present additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a section of straight duct longer than their actual physical size. When calculating the total duct length, add the equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors plus the length of all straight duct sections. The charts on the following pages show you how to calculate total equivalent ductwork length using the approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical ducts.

* IMPORTANT: If a rectangular-to- round transition adaptor is used, the bottom corners of the damper will have to be cut to fit, using the tin snips, in order to allow free movement of the damper. Equivalent lengths of duct pieces are based on actual tests and reflect requirements for good venting performance with any hood.
